Volume One, Chapter 24: The Handsome Man on the Run

But as for whether it would succeed... Thinking of Baili Mochen’s cold, piercing gaze, the smile on Yun Jinghua’s lips grew even wider.
Lu Qing sat on a stone with a light smile. Although the stone was covered with animal hides, it was still painfully hard—her bottom, oh dear... Yet, she maintained a perfect, calm, and relaxed smile on her face.
As the melodious and secluded sound of the zither drifted over, he picked up his wine cup and took a sip, his eyes never leaving her for a moment. The tenderness deep within his gaze was now revealed without reservation.
Baili Mochen could not help but be slightly startled, and the corners of his originally cold lips slowly curled upward.
Cai Yu sighed and asked, "Brother, why have you come today? Jingsheng has already been sent away, and here, I am..." It seemed that in an instant, Cai Yu had lost his power.
Lv Tianming finally understood why Lin Fan was so sentimental today and insisted on dragging him to see the sea.
Although Shouchun was not large, the population had dwindled significantly due to a severe drought. After Liu Zhang stationed his massive army here, his purpose was twofold: on one hand, to gauge how much power Yuan Shu truly possessed, and on the other, to send scouts to Danyang to ensure Sun Ce was not plotting any tricks.
Your Highness, could we please not use such hateful, resentful, and irritable expressions while saying such ambiguous and infinitely imaginative things?
"Are you a bit scared?" Scarlett asked, looking at Lin Fan, who was clutching the railing tightly with a pale face. In reality, a hint of a smile played on her lips.
The waiter’s blood splattered onto Lin Xiangwan’s hand. She pulled out a tissue and meticulously wiped her fingers.
Yu Lingxiao felt the Ancestral Immortal laws within his body gradually wither. Terror struck him, and he let out a shrill, piercing scream. His body slowly shriveled as Ye Jin forcibly extracted the Ancestral Immortal laws one by one.
Xin Yi had been quite happy in the car. Lu Zeng glanced at her in the backseat; this trip out had indeed been the right choice, as it would buy them another period of peace.
An Jinyu had seized the opportunity first, and she could not be blamed for using tactics. No matter what, she could not influence Tang Jingtao; if Tang Jingtao did not fancy her, he would remain dismissive even if she engineered countless chance encounters.
"The third emperor is also quite famous. Legend has it that he was a ruler who naturally disliked slaughter. For the sake of all living beings in the mortal realm, he tasted hundreds of herbs and ultimately validated his imperial path through the supreme Way of Medicine, becoming one of the Nine Emperors. Later generations call him the 'Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan'." Shen Gongbao pulled himself out of his deep thoughts and answered Ye Mo’s confusion.
Tang Jinteng pinched Xin Yi’s cheek and turned to summon the rest of the family—how could he be missing from the family portrait?

Xin Yi turned and slapped Wancheng hard across the face. With a crisp "crack," a red mark immediately appeared on Wancheng’s cheek. Wancheng clenched his facial muscles, his ferocious expression terrifying to behold.
Tang Jinteng did not eat sweets, and he rarely ate at night; how could he possibly consume such lethal things at this hour?
The Ye family’s secret chamber was built eighteen feet underground. The outer layer was constructed of massive bluestone slabs, while the inner walls were cast from wind-steel. The hollow space between the walls was filled with mercury; should any thief attempt to tunnel in, they would be instantly drowned in mercury.
Luo Yichen thought to herself: It seems Grandfather has no better options. Mu Lichen cannot stir up any trouble either, so there is no need for me to be so anxious. Perhaps, by dragging this out, I can make him even more passive. I am clearly the one in control now, so how can Grandfather still demand that I get a divorce?
In truth, she could feel that Cheng Hao’s affection for her was far less intense and obvious than her own, which was like a moth flying into a flame.
When Lou Mian smiled, her lips curved slightly, and her large, starry eyes bent into the shape of crescent moons.
Gu Yue’s cunning black eyes darted about beneath her large eyelids, watching Guo Jiajia as if calculating her next prey.
Upon hearing Feng Shaotian’s words, Ling Siyu suddenly realized something and let out a startled cry. Before she could say anything more, Feng Shaotian pinched her cheeks and shook her.
"I sense the aura of the Beast Tomb on you. It seems you are the one who slaughtered my people."
She simply lowered her gaze, watching the man sitting in the chair, waiting for him to remember something.
However, some medicinal herbs could not be purchased because they were too rare and generally not for sale—yet Yu Yang had to obtain them.
The New Year was passing so slowly; they all wished time would hurry up so they could escape this scene of impending death.
Even if they were no longer husband and wife, the other party still seemed to feel that they could interfere in their life, just as before.
Lou Mian probably never expected that on the second day after she returned from the banquet, news about her would appear on the internet again.
Those innocent lives lost under the gunfire were like fireworks lit up in the starry sky, vanishing completely within the brilliant, beautiful display.

"Welcome, young dream-walker." Suddenly, a voice rang out, and the back of a magnificent sofa appeared before them.
"Young Master Lv is a playboy; his words are not to be trusted at all. Why bother, Chan'er?" Sister Ping advised earnestly.
When Director Zhang burst into Chen Chu’s office, Luo Kun had already slipped silently out of the ward and arrived at Room 8.
At this moment, Long Shen was completely bewildered. Although he vaguely remembered Duan Chengkong telling him that something had been pre-arranged, he had assumed it meant a promotion or a raise.
Although humanity had almost collapsed, they were still struggling to hold on. The troops of the Li Kingdom were mixed with demonic monsters; if a Frost Storm were released now, it would inevitably cause collateral damage to the Li Kingdom’s soldiers.
Han Qing and the other two flew directly to another location—an open-air football field, though a sky-dome had been activated in advance to block the rain.
Lu Chengtai had come home a bit late tonight. As soon as he entered, he saw An Meiyuan sitting on the sofa watching television, with an exquisite fruit platter in front of her—clearly prepared by the servants.
"What is wrong with you?" Mother Hua felt a wave of panic. She smoothed his clothes and brushed back the hair on his temples that had been ruffled by the strong wind, asking softly.
Xu Shu put the noodles into the water and stared blankly at the boiling pot until a violent knocking at the door startled him back to reality.
"If I didn't cling to you, wouldn't I have to sleep in the same bed as Nanny Tiannu!" Such a thing happening to me was simply impossible.
"Without these common people, this continent will become a dead land. Naturally, there will be no need for its existence." The one speaking was Yue Zhan. As the head of a clan, he naturally knew many secrets. He spoke with a sense of foresight.
